Group B action at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations resumes on Friday with South Africa taking on Ivory Coast at the Al Medina Stadium. Both these sides’ opening matches of the competition delivered goals, and our prediction is that there will be plenty of chances in this one as well.
South Africa came out on the wrong side of one of the upsets of the opening round of matches at the 2026 WAFCON, suffering their first-ever loss to Tanzania 2-1 at this venue on Monday.
Banyana Banyana had 63% possession, 24 shots at goal and 2.67 xG in that match. However, they were wasteful, scoring just once through Bambanani Mbane in first-half stoppage time.
This is now a must-win for the 2022 champions if they are to maintain a chance of progressing to the quarter-finals. They have won three of their last five matches ahead of this one.
Meanwhile, Ivory Coast made a statement in their opening match of the 2026 WAFCON, smashing four goals past a plucky Burkina Faso, while only conceding one themselves.
The Lady Elephants netted their first three goals of that match inside the opening 25 minutes. Strasbourg’s Ines Konan bagged a brace in between strikes from Rebecca Elloh and Nsira Ouedraogo.
Ivory Coast have now lost only one of their last 10 matches across all competitions and have kept clean sheets in four of their last six.

Our South Africa W vs Ivory Coast W Prediction
South Africa showed their attacking strength in their opening match of this competition by recording 24 shots at goal and 2.67 xG, but they were made to pay for their wastefulness and leaky defence.
Banyana Banyana cannot afford another sloppy performance here, or their knockout hopes could be over. Ivory Coast smashed in four goals in their first game, and we feel they will find the net at least once in this match. Our South Africa W vs Ivory Coast W prediction is BTTS.
